Is SweetIM spyware?

Someone recently mentioned to me that Spybot flags SweetIM (or at least part of it) as spyware. Unfortunately everything I have found through Google has said that SweetIM is not spyware/adware/etc (although they appear to have lost their Softpedia 100% free certification).

I would believe that the version of SweetIM that was being used was a new beta for AIM users.

Does anyone have any idea as to why Spybot would remove part of this? It would be nice to know for sure if it really is spyware.

There does not appear to be a detection named "SweetIM", that I see. That leaves someone attempting track the problem down with very little to go on. Perhaps if you could get the person that you heard the problem from to post the Checks.yymmdd-hhmm.log from when the problem was detected, it would be helpful.

Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.
